To safeguard sensitive data, it's important to implement a Zero Trust architecture, utilize AI-driven security for anomaly detection, and ensure rapid recovery capabilities. NetApp's ONTAP software includes built-in security features that help protect patient and donor data, as demonstrated by Be The Match, which has successfully secured its global registry.

Modernizing your data storage can lead to increased efficiency and sustainability. For instance, Shibaura Institute of Technology improved its IT infrastructure after a ransomware attack, incorporating all-flash storage that not only protected data but also achieved a 60% reduction in data volume through deduplication and compression.

To manage costs effectively while scaling, consider unifying your storage into a single operating system that simplifies tech refreshes and reduces TCO. NetApp solutions allow for right-sizing data storage in both cloud and on-premises environments, potentially saving up to 40% on TCO while also cutting carbon footprint and energy costs.
